In about o year hence there will be
Democratic Presidential ticket In the Held
once more. and the Democratic party will then
be making its flght for the continuance OF that
supremacy which Il won by hairs breadth
three years ago. The time Is short In which
to decide upon O candidate and to lay down o
rule OF action. Tho occasion will be moro
pressing and moro important than tho similar
occasion in 1884.
The party then was accustomed to defeat.
In six Presidential canvasses 1t had been de-
feated, In nve by numerical strength and In
one by frand. It had begun to look to defeat
In the canvass OF 1884, and up to the day OF
Burchard's alliterative blunder had virtually
little hopes Of success. It won by fiuke.
A year hence the Democracy will have to 500
TO 1t that some stronger element OF SUCCESS ts
embodied In the national ticket than was
embodied In that Of 1884. 1t cannot
look to fortune or to fukes for success.
1t must name strong mon, advance sound
Democratic principles and 90 In to win on Its
merits. The fact that 1t has possession, and
that the chief Federal offices are mostly In Its
hands, will not increase it's chances Of success
one iota. Tho Administration has set Its seal
OF condemnation on the use OF the offices as an
election forco, except In its one expressed par
ticular Of quieting Republican votes by letting
Republicans hold over. Its process Of govern
ment will be the subject Of criticism, and its
ancient enemy will be reinforced for the first
time by the strength which always inheres with
the outs-they will not be the party responsible.
Under all these circumstances can the DEM

A Corps OF Special Agents to DO Appointed
to do tho Work.


WASHINGTON, June 22.-Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs Atkins has forwarded to Secre-
tary Lamar list Of names from which are to
be selected the special agents provided for by
the Indian Severalty bill to supervise the allot-
ment Of lands to the Indians. Attorney-Gene-
raj Garland has given 1t IS his opinion that the
true construction Of tho law demands sepa-
rate corps OF special agents to attend TO this
work and that tho regular corps OF agents
lnd inspectors cannot by employed at 1t. The
President and Secretary Lamar are engaged In
passing upon this list, and by July will have
the men decided upon. The list Of reservations
upon which the new act Is to be tested has
been Increased. and now includes the follow
ing: Siletz, Grand Ronde, and Warm Springs,
Ore: DEVILS Lake, Lake Traverse; ,Poncaa,
and Yanktons, Dakota; Crow IN Montana,
Mussel Shoals In Washington Territory. and the
Pottowatomies and Quepaws In Indian Terri

General Land Office for the survey OF these
lands. so that the agents may 60 to work to

will be made by deputy surveyors. under the

provided for this purpose by the Allotment
bill. The number OF agents to be appointed ts
not yet settled but 1t will be sufficient to push

The Public Schools.

According to the report Of the City Superin-
tendept, now just published, the average at
tendance OF pupils at the public schools last
year was 16Se4a or 2sl9 more than In 1885.
Included In this total are l0,0s9 pupils OF
the corporate schools or the schools OF char
stable institutions entitled by law to paFtici-
pate In the school fund, 1,4S9 " the Normal
College, 1,O32i In the Training Department., and
n In the Nautical School. There were also
R.268 In the evening schools. Tho average at
tendance upon the public schools proper, the
primary and grammar schools, was accord
lngly only lS2745 pupils, OF whom 797A2, or
sixty Der cent, were under primary instruo-
ton, and 6SOOs In the grammar schools. In
the two colleges, male and female, there were,
all told, only two or three thousand pupils.
The chief demand was therefore, as 1t al
ways Is, for the fudimentaFy education Of
the primary school, and 1t Is made the more
pronounced when we take the figures OF the
total enrolment, or OF the whole number OF
different pupils taught during the year. Out
of 191 ,O27 pupils enrolled, 65.sO4 were In the
grammar schools and 195. 22s In the primary
schools. That Is, about two-thirds We're under
primary instruction only,
OF the children attending the grammar
schools, too, only about one-ffth go beyond
the lower grades, In which the instruction 10
more elementary. They cannot afford the
time to remain longer at school, and the
education they will get outside Is more
valuable to them than that Of the su-
pertor classes, whose chief purpose Is
to prepare boys and girls for the
free colleges, which so few Of them
can attend, Even when boys get into the
Lexington Avenue College nine-tenths OF
them drop out before graduation, the only
considerable class In the institution being
the introductory or high school class pre-
liminary to the college course, at the end Of
which the number Of students has fallen to
fifty or sixty.
Yet our whole school system. a. at present
managed, u complicated and vastly In
creased in expense in order that few boys
and girls may be pushed forward into the
colleges. All except a very small proportion
OF the children want only the simplest rudi-
mentary instruction They must leave school
soon after they have reached their teens, the
number under instruction who have passed
twelve years being comparatively small.
